I have taken the help from your site to register for e-certificates. I have applied online but the payment page is not coming. It shows an error – for help contact [email protected]billdesk.com. No reply for the mail sent to this id.

I had taken the service of Akshaya for certificate once. Now I have done as directed in your site and the page was coming fine. Application was done but the payment page is not coming.

Kindly help. What can I do for making request online for a possession certificate.

Just to clarify certain doubts of the commentors,
1. in order to take the print out of the application, check on ‘Applications status’ in the main menu of e-district page, enter certificate type and no. if the certificate is approved, it will show ‘approved’ and click on ‘print’. The certificate will be generated in .pdf. You can also print within your user area of the portal by checking the transaction history.
2. For Aadhaar validation, please ensure that you are giving the name and date of birth exactly as given in e-aadhaar letter/aadhaar card (even the initials, character cases such as capital and small letters).
3.Also, please use Moxilla Firefox to get better results. Validation sometimes fails especially in ‘Google Chrome’ browser.

Hope this is helpful and if you have more queries, i will be more than happy to clarify.

In my experience this will make lose your requirements , I received Income certificate and cast certificate through e’district for the purpose of kerala entrance exam 2014 for getting OBC status and submitted but entrance exam commissioner just REJECTED/DEFECTIVE remark on E’district certificate and required hand submitted & issued certificate which provided in prospectus from village Officer but village officer said as per government of kerala order no certificate will issue/submitted or accepted by hand rel vent amendment already done with entrance dept.

Several communication done with KEAM 2014 Commissioner and with Education Minister,Even to Chief minister till to date no result still I am with general so My opinion to all when ever you take a e’district certificate demand for a promissory note also for the lose till our system accept latest up-gradations for the fast process even i found our KEAM 2014 COMMISSIONER WILL NOT ACCEPT e mail submitted letters /documents ,even he won’t write his NAME WHERE HE SIGNS.
